'Twas the Days After Christmas

'Twas the days after Christmas and all through the house

Everybody was twitching

Yes, even the mouse.

The sugar was coursing, 

like crack though each vain,

Driving both parents 

and children insane.

The toys were all 'boring'

The turkey's now 'yuck'

The youngest kept beating

 each sibling with his truck.

The wine rack was filled 

Past the point of what's right

But at least after bed time

We'd have a good night.

And yet we will look back

And think..sur 'twas grand

But it could only just seem so

With a drink in each hand.

We will look forward next year

With no thought for the past

We will still seek perfection

And yet know it won't last

And yet we are all here

Together and well

And that what's important 

And makes my heart swell.

It's busy, it's crazy

It's over the top

But once we're all here together 

I hope it won't stop.

So happy Christmas to all of you 

And a happy New Year

And please spend it with people 

That you hold especially dear❤️
